In a very wet final round of the Two Counties Club Championship held at the Clay Pigeon Raceway, the leader in each class and sub-class succeeded in holding on!
Devon Giles won an uncontested Cadet Honda class and thereby retained the class trophy.
There will be a new name on the Junior Blue trophy. In an entry-disrupted Championship, Alfi Lenton emerged as the new Champion, with Rudie Winslow-Morten moving up a step from 3rd to Vice Champion.
In the Formula BLUE main class, David Watts and Anthony Cleal shared the day’s points but Watts, by virtue of ‘count back’ won the Final on the day. Joey Foster, last year’s Champion, finished 3rd on the day. These three when the points are totalled will occupy the Championship Podium, with Watts on the top step, followed by Cleal and Foster.
Foster won the Master sub-group on the day, also by count back, from Cleal. It is Cleal, however, who takes the Club Championship from Foster with Paul Alexander in 3rd spot.
Cleal took a minimum points win in the BLUE Veteran group, and thereby the overall trophy. Alexander finished 2nd on the day, clinching the runner-up spot in the championship. Robin Stoddart-Stones came home in 3rd position but it is Steve Groves who takes 3rd place in the annual Championship.
In the last of the ‘age determined ‘ sub-classes, namely the BLUE Legends, Stoddart-Stones and Stuart Gray (all the way from Scotland) shared the day’s points, but Stoddart-Stones was awarded the win on count-back. He also wins the Club Championship from Davide Goode, with Kevin O’Neill finishing the year in 3rd place.
There will be a new name on the Top Weight sub-class trophy. Alexander finished the year as Champion, as well as winning the final round.
Following a wet race weekend, racers had to pack their race equipment away ‘dirty’. This in turn will enforce a fair bit of extra work, cleaning, preparation and packing the the gear away ready for next year. Things are not all bad, however, the end-of-year presentation event is just over the horizon. Taking place in Weymouth at the Rembrandt Hotel, the event is scheduled for Saturday, November 25th and will, as always, be the high point of the social calendar. This year the Presentation Evening is organised by the 2 Counties Kart Club, who have already put in a lot of time to ensure it is another ‘ evening to remember’!
Along with the 2 Counties members, the National Kart Racing Association, Tabor Karting and Torster Travel will be presenting their Trophies so ‘ Securicor’ will need to be on standby !!
As stated in the regulations, Trophy and Prize winners must be present to receive their awards, so for anyone not yet booked please contact Shelly on (07950 709539) with a degree of urgency.

TORSTER TRAVEL sponsor of the inaugural INDYBLUE CHAMPIONSHIP presented up to £5,000 worth of holiday and karting vouchers. Many of the Formula Blue competitors had rebuilt their engines in order to be at the peak of performance for this event. Mother nature did not, however, play ball, with atrocious weather affecting the Saturday practice and running-in sessions although several drivers managed to get some lappage in before the track became unusable. For many, the task would have to be left until the early heats on Sunday.
Despite serious rainfall during the night, Sunday dawned overcast but damp. Practice took place on ‘inter’ wet tyres as the track gradually dried out . Heat 1 was raced on slicks as the circuit continued to dry. Richard Puddle took the win from James Dawkins followed by Anthony Cleal, Kevin Ford and Mike Bell. Several of the middle laps were under yellow flags whilst Nigel Vickery extracted himself from the barriers at the far hairpin, he had spent much of the race suffering from severe understeer.
Heat 2 was claimed by Cleal despite a ‘drop-nose’ penalty. Behind him, Puddle also incurred a ‘drop-nose’ penalty but whereas Cleal narrowly missed losing a place despite the 5-second penalty, Puddle did not. Dawkins claimed 2nd place. Prior to this heat, a rain shower had left the track wet in certain areas and a few of the drivers had opted for ‘inters’, It proved to be the wrong choice and by lap 3 they gradually slipped back down the order. Ford finished 4th with Gunter in 5th.
The 3rd Heat went the way of heat 2 with a win for Cleal, chased to the flag by Puddle, Dawkins, Ford and Gunter.
The grid for the Final had Cleal on Pole with Puddle alongside. The 2nd row saw Dawkins and Ford with the 3rd row occupied by Gunter and Stuart Adam ( the first of the top weights). From the lights, Cleal forged into a lead he was not to lose and Dawkins outgunned Puddle to lead the chase. Adam failed to start on the grid but got going a lap down. Nigel Vickery had made 3 places by the end of lap 1, having started back in 12th spot. Lap 3 saw Puddle get a mechanical flag signal and pulled into the pits, his chain guard had become detached. Vickery moved up to 8th. By half-distance, the front 2 had broken clear of the 3rd place battle where Gunter managed to outpace Ford for 3rd spot. The race continued without movement for the next few laps. On lap 9 Vickery was up to 6th passing Alexander, with Cleal a second clear of Dawkins and Gunter holding off Ford. On the last lap Alexander made an unlikely move on Vickery stalling the pair of them as they tangled. This allowed Shone through but Paul Wheeler maximised the incident passing all of them! Vickery and Alexander recovered to finish 8th and 9th respectively.
So, at the flag, a jubilant Cleal took the flag from Dawkins. Following post-race scrutineering the results were posted with an ecstatic Diane Cleal rushing off making plans as to where they were going to take their £1000 holiday !!
The final finishing order was.

Anthony Cleal scored maximum points in the penultimate round of the Tabor Championships. Several of the other ‘key’ players were absent, thereby allowing Cleal the luxury of knowing that, with only one round to go, he had already won! Ron Shone, having his best race of the year, finished 2nd only 4 points behind Cleal. This result, however, only moves him up one place to 9th position. Third on the day was Max Gunter, with Mike Bell in 4th and Nigel Vickery in 5th spot. Though not present, Joey Foster maintains his 2nd overall position with Rob Mortimore still in 3rd and Alex Kemp in 4th.
The next and final round of 2023 is at the Clay Pigeon Raceway on November 12th.
